Trees dot the subdivision, and there are no HOA dues for the three- to four-bedroom houses lining the winding streets. Homes sell for a median price of $780,000 after 62 days, although the entire price range begins around $700,000 and continues to just over $1 million.

Pickleball courts attract visitors of all ages, while children have a large play area. Snow Canyon State Park is just across Highway 18 from the subdivision. The 7,400-acre preserve has numerous hiking, biking and horseback riding trails alongside multiple climbing areas. The Tuacahn Center for the Arts is located in the state park and hosts traveling Broadway shows, concerts and the Southern Utah Blues Festival in October. The festival provides all-day entertainment on the amphitheater stage with stunning red rock backdrops.

Winding lanes and significant highways
Residents of Winchester Hills enjoy gently curving residential roads and easy access to major thoroughfares. Highway 18 borders the community and takes people nine miles to Saint George or Santa Clara. No public transportation or sidewalks are available, although cyclists use the highway to travel into town or to one of the area’s many biking trails. The subdivision lies ten miles from the St. George Regional Hospital-River Road and 19 miles from the St. George Regional Airport.Residential community minutes away from urban conveniences
The subdivision has no commercial development, but shopping and dining options aren’t far away. A few miles south of Winchester Hills, hungry people stop for organic bites and all-natural juices at Toastique. The Crepery St. George serves sweet- and savory-filled French pancakes and specialty coffees. Riggatti’s Wood Fired Pizza gives guests a taste of the Old World, with artisan pies cooked at nearly 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Further down the highway, 3 Amigos Market and Smith’s Marketplace provide customers with groceries and other essentials. In the Saint George city limits, shopping centers like Dixie Sunset Plaza, Sunset Plaza and the Shops at Green Gate Village have dozens of retail stores, restaurants, services and more.

Wildfire risks and private water companies
The community is at risk of wildfires from extreme heat, drought and high winds. The Diamond Valley Fire Department is four miles north, allowing for fast response times. Winchester Hills also has its own volunteer fire department and water company. In fact, property owners in Winchester Hills automatically become shareholders in the subdivision’s private water company. Septic tanks are required for waste, as the community isn’t part of the Saint George sewage and water system.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
